Heather: I'm trying to hurry so here! Chapter 2! I loves ya all!
Ikuto: heather-chan doesn't own us or Shugo Chara! Enjoy!
Note: Some of you seem to have forgotten, in the chapter where Amu-chan gets her memory erased, they erase her memory of her friends too. Heh, just thought you needed a quick reminder.
A Blinded Heart
Chapter 2: Who Are You?
Flashback:
(Ikuto's POV)
I shuddered, how could Amu touch me so tenderly when she doesn't even remember me? But, I couldn't help myself, I gripped her body to mine, resting my chin on her head. Her body tightened slightly, but I didn't stop. I gripped her chin in my hand and slowly leaned down to her, and just as our lips almost touched, she pulled away. "I-Ikuto! Why are you trying to kiss me suddenly?!" She whispered, and she fell back onto the bed, and she began to cough. I internally swore and leaned forward, placing one hand on her forehead.
"You still have a fever. Go back to sleep Amu, you can leave tomorrow if you're better." I said as I stood swiftly and took the bowl, walking out of the room. I walked into my small, barely used kitchen and placed the bowl in the sink, and turned away, pinching the bridge of my nose between my fingers. "I was so close, damn…" I murmured frustrated. "Is Amu any better nya?" I heard Yoru whisper, and I looked over at him. "She be okay, this is just harder than I thought." I muttered, and Yoru sighed sadly. I reached out and rubbed his head gently. "Don't lose hope on me now." I said, smirking, and he smirked as well.
'Amu… we'll get you back… ven if I have to start from square one again.'
End of flashback
(Amu's POV)
I watched as the man known as Tsukiyomi Ikuto walked away, I'd only met him the other day for crying out loud! Yet he brought me back to his own place to watch over me. "But… why do I keep picturing you? Why do I remember all these wonderful, horrible, things?" I whispered to myself as tears brimmed my eyes. I wiped them away and rolled onto my side, curling up into a fetal position. It helped a little, my heart stopped throbbing and my head stopped spinning. I could feel the sleep from having a fever wash through me, and my eyes slowly closed, unconsciousness flooding my body.
The Next Morning (it had been about… 6 p.m.)
My eyes busted open, my hands were clutching the sheets, and my breathing was labored. I didn't feel dizzy anymore, so my fever must have been gone, but I felt the dampness of the sheets, and the sweat that lined my forehead. I felt something cold on my forehead, and let my eyes wander upward to see a cloth. I looked to the right and saw Ikuto there, damping at my forehead gently.
"You okay? You were screaming in your sleep." He said gently, and I sat up, and then got out of the bed. "I'm sorry, thank you for taking care of me, but I need to go!" I saw my charas coming through the small archway, and I dashed past Ikuto and towards the door, opening it and letting my charas out before closing it and running for the elevator.
(Ikuto's POV)
I stared after Amu as she ran out, and I sighed, scratching the back of my head tiredly. "Are you just going to let Amu get away nya?!" Yoru squeaked, and I just nodded, and then I smirked. "Why don't we go pay a visit to good ol' Gozen?" I asked in a sour tone, and Yoru smirked as well. "That sounds like fun nya! We can go harrass people now!" He said joyfully as cat ears and a tail appeared on me. "Let's go nya!" Yoru shouted happily as I lept out of the open window.
At Easter
I slowly peeked around the corner, watching as a guard just walked back Gozen's 'office'. As soon as he turned the corner away from me, I nonchalantly walked over and came in through the door, and then smirked at the angry Gozen. "Morning Gozen, anything new?" I said in a sour tone, the smirk not leaving. He smirked as well, and he folded his fingers together, looking at me skeptically. "I assume you know of our lovely Amu-chan's condition." He said cheerfully, and I glared at him.
"Why did you do it? Amu's none of your concern. I could've-" "You fell in love with her. She fell in love with you. You wouldn't have done it." He said, his eyes and tone turning hard and cold. "You had no right to drag her into this, and what about her mother? Did you erase her memories too?" I asked icily, and Gozen smirked in a cold and horrifying way. "Simple, I took care of her." He said, and my eyes widened.
"You don't mean that you've kil-" He nodded, and my jaw dropped momentarily, and then I clenched my teeth and fists together. My face went completely smooth, and I sighed tiredly. "But why did you erase her memories of me?" I asked, raising an eyebrow out of disgust. "Just to see you suffer and struggle to bring them back. Which you won't." He added smugly.
"We'll see." I muttered as I turned on my heel and walked out of his room. I just barely heard him say, "Just try Ikuto, see what'll happen." But I did, and I continued to walk. "Ah! That guy is so annoying nya!" Yoru whined as I slowly yet swiftly walked through the halls of Easter. "Yeah, but it doesn't really matter does it?" I muttered, and he shrugged tiredly.
(Amu's POV)
I ran from Ikuto's apartment building all the way to a forest path, and it was when I stopped I realized I had gotten lost. I sighed tiredly and hit my head with me palm. I looked to the left and saw a bit of ground that was higher up, and it was a long trail (Refer to the trail that she and Nagehiko take to the love temple thing.) I looked at it carefully, but my eyes widened and my teeth clenched as more memories flooded through me.
This time, it was myself and a long purple haired man, and then a girl, who looked exactly like him. They both smiled at me the same way, with warmth and kindness. Then, more flashes, the purple haired man holding my hand to help me up the same step it seemed. I shook my head violently, my eyes shutting tightly. "Ugh! Who is this man I keep seeing?!" I shrieked, and my charas looked at me worriedly.
"Amu-chan! Maybe we should head to your apartment now desu!" Suu shouted worriedly, and I slowly brought my head up to nod at her. "R-right... okay Suu. Ran?" I glanced at her, and she nodded. "Hai Amu-chan! Chara change!" And then I was gliding through the air, the small wings at my hands and feet. We all headed towards the overly-large apartment that Easter had gotten for me.
At The Apartment
I slowly opened the door, and put the key which had been taped to it onto the marble counter-top of the kitchen. The rooms weren't familiar to me, which I found odd, since I knew where this place was, and the key even said 'Hinamori'. I held my head in my hand tiredly, and then, the biggest, most horrifying flash came to me.
It was Tsukiyomi Ikuto and myself, and he forced me into a bedroom, could it have been mine? Then he began kissing my up and down, on my chest, un-buttoning my shirt until he could take it off of me, and I had been doing the same. He then pushed me back onto a bed, and his hand worked it's way to my back and then...
I forced my eyes open to stop the vision. My eyes were wide with horror, and my mouth was opened slightly. My hands flew to the sides of my face, feeling blindy as if to make sure I was still there, and tears began to fall. I looked down at the ground a let myself sob for a bit. "W-who is he?! Why is he... why am I?" I let myself breathe for a bit, and then I looked up with determination. "I need to ask him, he must know."
heather: Okay! All done! I hope you all enjoyed! XD
Nagi: Please R&R everyone! Goodbye!
